This was honestly a really good read/watch.
Centennial Case manages to present an intriguing plot with a really interesting mystery that crosses time. You witness how Haruka, the main character, manages to solve the mystery regarding the Shijimas utilizing her smarts and the novels written by an ancestor of the Shijima family.

Gameplay wise the game doesn't really shine, since the interactive bits of it are more of a drag than something really interesting. What I loved about this tho is that it's really unpredictable. Aside from chapter 1 I can't tell a single time I was sent into the "okay now figure it out" part having a single clue about what happened, but still managed to reason it out in the end with the help of the game. That's what a good mystery game should do and Centennial Case aces it.

While the acting is not the best around, it's not terrible either. The actors are really stiff and almost feels like you are watching a kids recital. Anyway the more you watch the more you find it normal so it doesn't really hinder the enjoyment of the game.
This doesn't mean the scenes are a mess though. There's actually a lot of care in the photography of every scene and there is no shot that doesn't hold significance to the story. Every line of dialogue has a clear purpose and there was no time that I felt like they didn't touch on a subject I thought deserved more attention, unlike some other mystery games out there (looking at you, my beloved Ace Attorney, you do this too often).

Overall a solid recommend. I found both my money and my time well spent.

先说结论：好作品，好剧本，好表演，游戏性。。。略显单薄

通篇的主旨是一场跨越百年的追凶复仇，超自然元素“永生”带来的冲突要到故事后半程才慢慢体现，不过总体不影响推理和故事观感。得益于真人演员的演出效果，故事后半程的感染力非常优秀（本人泪点低）。但是最终章的结尾有种整不出活了强行刹车的感觉，稍有遗憾

关于游戏部分，主要由线索整理+回答问题两部分构成（除了第五章的密室逃脱）。所谓线索整理的部分其实就是选词填空组出各种推论（不乏一些一眼离谱的）。。。大多数词都只能填一次，所以再怎么想不明白一个个试总是能匹配上的，这个过程与其说是推理不如说是给自己理清思路，这一通下来没想明白的话，最后“做考卷”前男主还会再帮你理一遍。加上最后的考试全是选择题（选项还不多），所以全流程通关难度约等于0

每个案件的推理都有一个关键的点，想通这个点之后剩下的问题就自然的有了答案。最后一章的答案相信如果前面一路认真思考下来的话非常显而易见

最后借用游戏中老爷子的一句话：愿大家自由的活出自己想要的人生
